Buried Alive.
Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
A painful incident, which recalls Ed
gar Poe's thrilling sketch entitled
"Premature Burial" is reported from
Saumur. A young man who was
afflicted with q contagious disease.
suddenly died, at least to all appear
ance, and his burial was ordered to
take place as soon as possible. The
croquemorts, or undertaker's men,
who carried the coffin to the grave,
thought they heard noise like knock
ing under it's lid, yet being afraid OF
creating a panic among the people who
attended the funeral they went on
with their burden, The coffin was
duly placed in the grave, but as the
earth was being thrown upon it, un-
mistakable sounds of knocking were
heard by everybody. The mayor,
however, had to be sent for before tn
coffin could be opened, and some de-
lay occurred in the arrival of that
official. When the lid was removed
the horrible discovery was made that
the unfortunate inmate had only just
died from asphyxia. The terrible
French law requiring speedy interment
ought to be modified without delay.

Judge Fitzgerald Narrowly Escapes As

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 2.-Ihe attempt
on the life of Judge J. w. Fitzgerald,
of the police court, last night, has
reduce d a profound feeling. The
Judge has for long time been the ter
ror of evil-doers, but no one has ever
ventured to charge him with any feel.
ing but desire to indicate the law
and punish and prevent crime. Only
yesterday he had nearly a hundred
cockfghters before him, and in
all cases where a plea of guilty
was made he fined them $25 and
costs. There are still number of
these cases pending, to be heard on
Friday. The circumstances of an at
tack being made last night give color
to the suspicion that some one inter
ested on behalf of these defendants
had undertaken the desperate scheme
of numbering the judge. The time for
the guilty deed was well chosen.
The judge was alone in his
library, preparing q decision
in a submitted case. His son and
his sons wife had gone to the theater.
When the door bell at the side en-
trance rang, the Judge answered it in
person. He says he saw man with
8 black face there, who ss.id "Judge
Fitzgerald?" The judge answered
"Well?" just then the caller drew a
white hand from his overooat pocket
and the Judge caught the glitter
of the weapon in time TO Jump
aside just before the shot was
fred. He fell with an exclama-
ton and the assassin doubtless
thought he had accomplished his pur-
pose. The servant girls came to his
help and neighbors were summoned.
Tt was found that he had not been
wounded, though the ball cut through
his coat. He was greatly Frustrated
by the nervous shock. This was
greater because, although he had not
before made it known, this was not
the first assault he had suf-
fered. About week ago, after
attending g. business meeting near
the courthouse, he started home,
when some one hurled brick
bat or bowlder at his head and mar
rowly missed his aim. It was dark
and the Judge could not see his assail-
ant, who instantly ran. The judge
appeared as usual on the bench this
morning. He says he has no doubt
he can recognize the voice and form
of his assailant

The Old Tactics of Pumme1ing New Men
ResOrted to.
Assaults on non-union wOrkmen by
strikers along the New York docks are
now becoming somewhat frequent,
though up to the I'd inst. but little
difficulty of that kind had occurred.
Some of the nou- union freight-handlers
were attacked as they were quitting
piers. At the Savannah line piers two
or three men were set upon by
the strikers and beaten, pounded
and kicked numerically. No ar
rests were made. One man was as.
saulted while policeman stood near
but did not dare interfere on account
of the crowd. Finally force OF po-
lice were sent to the Savannah pier.
The non-union men were taken away
on q tug to avoid the mob. A large
number of the striking 'loneshoremen
laid in wait at 5 O'Clock in the morn
ing on Hudson Street, Hoboken, to in
tercept the new men employed on the
Thingvalla Steamship Company's
dock, while going to their work.
The strikers were concealed behind
GWO ACW hpOop " " CtOOh
the new men came along and when
they reached the point where the
strikers we're concealed, the latter,
armed with clubs and bricks, set upon
them and gave them an unmerciful
beating. There were about fifty of the
''scabs," mostly Danes and Germans,
and they fed in every direction. OF
the fifty only twenty. eight reached the
dock. None of the strikers were ar.
rested.
At jersey City the coroner's jury, in
the case of the boy, Hogan, who was
shot and killed January 20, have rem.
dered q verdict that the boy died from
bullet wound inflicted by Pinkerton
Special Officer Patrick Sheehy. The
other Pinkerton men under arrest
were committed with Sheehy to await
the action of the grand Jury.

A Delicate Surgical Operation.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
The hospital records TEEN with In
stances of patients whose lives have
been saved by almost miraculous in
PREVENTION. A case in point that was
dealt with some time since was that o.
ayoung German who was struck on the
head with rock inclosed in q hand.
kerchief. Under the influence of liquor
he had engaged in an alteration with
another mar, who thus attempted to
defend himself. The blow must have
been struck with terrific force from the
effect produced. When admitted to
the hospital he was covered with
blood, which flowed freely from a
wound on the right temple. He was
yet conscious, but breathing hard,
and had evidently but a short time to
last. The skull was found to be frac-
tured beneath the wound. and the
broken bone was depressed and exert
ed pressure on the brain. This is
one OF the worst wounds known, and
requires immediate interference on
the part of the surgeon. The man
was at first able to tell how it hap
pened, but soon became delirious and
violent, requiring several men to hold
him In bed. He was given ether until
quoted, and then the wound in the
scalp was enlarged until instruments
could be introduced. Carefully the
broken pieces of skull were removed
with pair of forceps, leaving round
opening about as large as q dollar
through which the brain protruded,
and could be seen pulsating with each
beat Of the heart. Luckily the blow
had not injured the sensitive organ,
aside from COMPRISING it. A long,
narrow chisel was employed to trim
the ragged edges of the opening, and
this was where the nice manipulation
OF the instruments was seen. Imagine
for a moment the danger of the situa-
tion-with chisel and hammer cut
ting away the bone from portion OF
the vital center of man! If one frag-
ment of bone had been misplaced, or
one blow of the hammer been too
forcible death would have ensued in
stantly. The entire edge of the aper-
ture. was thus carefully cut away,
leaving it as smooth as asand-papered
surface.
The wound in the scalp was then
stitched up, leaving little piece OF
lint in the incision to conduct away
the discharge. He soon fell asleep and
thus remained until the next day,
when he awoke, conscious Of his sur
roundings and recognized his friends.
The ward was kept perfectly quiet,
and he was allowed to sleep most OF
the time, being fed on a milk diet. He
complained of headache at times, but
this gradually disappeared as the in
cision closed. In two weeks time the
scalp had come together all over the
opening, leaving only very slight de-
preston. This, OF course, did not feel
as firm as other parts of the head,
but was not tender to touch. By al
lowing his hair to grow little long he
could effectually erase all evidences OF
the accident, and he was discharged
from the hospital inside of a month
from the time OF his entry a we'll man.

A DARING RESCUE.

Two Officers RiddIed With Bullets in a
Railway Car.
Capt. Hmhn and Detective Hulligan,
OF Cleveland, were badly wounded
on the 4th while bringing from Pitts
burg Harry McMunn, charged with the
recent heavy fur robbery in Cleveland.
Securely handcuffed the prisoner was
placed on board the train at the outer
depot in Allegheny. He took his ar
rest very coolly and seemed anxious
to cause the detectives as little
trouble as possible. At Ravenna
three men entered the car from
the rear door facing the Captain.
They walked through the aisle until
they reached the seats occupied by the
two officers. Hulligan's back WAS to-
ward them, and drawing coupling
pin wrapped in white paper, one of the
men struck the detective terrible
blow on the head, knocking him almost
ssenseless into the seat. At the same
time two of them covered the captain
with their revolvers and ordered him
to remain quiet. Hulligan called for
help and Eehn, disregarding the pis
tolls aimed at his breast, jumped to his
feet, drew his revolver and fired. The
assassins returned the fire, and the
man with the coupling pin again struck
Hulligan and then ran along the aisle
and broke the lamps. In q moment
the car was in total darkness and g.
terrific hand-to-hand struggle between
the police captain and his four as
sailants ensued. Twice the thieves
knocked the captain senseless to the
floor and both times he recovered con-
sciousness almost Immediately and re-
turned to the combat. The first time
he fell one of the murderers said:
eWe've killed him; let him lay there. !"
He did not lay, however, but jumped
to his feet and pluckily continued the
fight. All this time Hulligan WAS un.
conscious and the assassins dragged
him hand-cuffed to the prisoner from
the car to the ground. Hehn finally
fought his way to the platform of the
conductor found him. The prisoner
and his rescuers had disappeared in
the excitement having jumped from
the train. All trace of them was lost
in the darkness. The Ravenna po-
lice were notified and g. posse started
out at once to scour the country.
1t was found that Capt. Helms
wounds were very severe. He was shot
in the hip, the bullet having passed
lengthwise down his leg and being i'm
bedded in his flesh. Another bullet
took effect in the left arm and passing
from the wrist upwards came out OF
the elbow. He also received q severe
cut in the head. Hulligan had four
cuts in the head. One was made by
the coupling pin and this, it is feared
has fractured his skull. One ear was
also half cut off. The physicians
think that Capt. Hehn may recover,
although his injuries are very serious.
Detective Hulligan's condition is very
critical. If Inflammation sets in he
will die. One of the burglars was
shot, but his ''pals' carried him from
the train and made their escape.
